The collection of placement fee specifically for domestic workers is strictly prohibited and could result in cancellation of POEA license.
This is what happened to Jao International Manpower Services after its president named, Rhoda Caradova collected Php 110,000 to one of its applicant bound to work in Romania as domestic helper. The OFW sold her house and lot in order to pay for the placement fee. It was also noted that the president of the agency didn't give receipt after she paid for it.
The OFW received USD 400 as salary but her contract was terminated by her employer and she has to return to Philippines after 4 months.
